In response to the increasing migration of Zimbabwean workers into neighbouring countries and further afield due to various socio-economic challenges in the country, the Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ) has developed a National Labour Migration Policy (NLMP) as a means to ensuring decent working conditions of migrant workers and promoting their protection. The project will contribute to strengthened labour mobility governance by the GoZ through supporting the implementation of prioritized actions defined in the NLMP and its implementation plan. The project aims to strengthen institutional coordination structures and mechanisms, particularly through the establishment of the Policy Implementation Cell (PIC) which will promote effective mobilization and engagement of key stakeholders and foster a whole of government approach to labour migration in Zimbabwe. Further, the project will assist the GoZ in accessing new evidence on labour migration regulatory frameworks and labour market situation in the region through conducting various assessments while supporting Migrant Resource Centres in improving their services for migrants and potential migrants.
